The only thing that would be good for is the mud pit.

I'd pay $2500 and he can keep everything from the suspension down. If you cover the ridiculous lift, there is a beautiful green 2 Door XJ.

Yeah, I'd love the jeep if it was say 4.5" on 32's. The body looks great but the lift made me nauseous looking at it...

What a waste of that Clayton kit. Should have put leafs with blocks in the front. How bout those front spring spacers? That's like 8" of spring spacer I'm really surprised it was actually able to climb that curb. The saddest part is somebody has actually bid that thing up to $10k.

Are.... Are the blocks welded to springs? I can see they are welded to the perches.

Such a young engine to be coupled with such crap underneath.

If you read all the way to the bottom, it was used as advertising for an offroad shop. Sorry but if I saw that sitting out front then they shop is never touching my rig.

I could find 100 things wrong/unsafe with this. Someone else would find 100 more.

Found the air horns over the rear diff amusing. It has a lock out conversion as a plus.

Has anyone noticed the box tube welded to the uni-frame that the cross member is bolted / welded to for a lame t-case drop?

The whole thing screams hack job to me. I saw it and knew I had to post a thread about it. Such a waste of a very nice looking XJ body
